Comments on How to Wean Your Baby off the Bottle

For one thing, my 11 month old baby, will be 1 year old in a few days...I'm very calm about transferring him to a sippy cup. He's been on a bottle since 9 months old. He only has a bottle with meal times, not usually before bed. He was breastfed until 10 months. My daughter who is almost 3 years old drank a bottle until 13 months old. I bought a couple of nube sippy cups, that look a little like a bottle, but are good transition cups. It only took a couple days of drinking no milk, before she started drinking milk in a sippy cup. My 11 month old sees my 33 month old daughter drinking sippy cups, he always wants hers...I"m pretty sure it will be easy to transition...things take time though.

I also have a 11 month milk monster, who will be 12 months in a few weeks. She does not take a pacifier, and has to have a bottle or two in the middle of the night. If she sleeps longer than 30 mins in the middles of the day, my nights are restless. I now suffer from two stomach diseases from this lack of sleep. I am crying out for help!

My son will be 12 months in a a couple of weeks. I really want to ween him off the bottle before he gets too old. I have no idea how to go about doing it. He goes down with one at nap time and at bed time and again if he wakes up in the middle of the night. Where do i start? Please help.

I took my daughter off the bottle right before she was 16 months and she REFUSED to drink milk out of the sippy cup (water and juice ok) but no way on the milk. She went an entire week without drinkink milk. I finally gave into her but the pediatrician said to just cut it out cold turkey and she will eventually come around and if not just to give her yougart, cheese, tofu etc. We are taking her off again tomorrow..Im in for a long ride she is one stubborn cookie!

GIJOJO, you have to ignore the cries. i know it's hard. i have a ten month old who slept through the night, then suddenly stopped. he woke up every couple hours. we put him down with a bottle of water now, then we walk out. we stay out of his room until the morning, and the sleep we get is awesome. he will only cry for a few nights, then he will get it. break the habit..... good luck!!

My son is 15 months and he still wakes up about 3 times a night for a bottle. During the day he will drink from a sippy cup but at night he needs a bottle to fall asleep. I am so tired because he wakes up so much. What should I do?

Sensible suggestions. I think it is easier to wean them from pacis, bottles, etc around the first birthday. I find a bigger struglle takes place the older they get! Mine weaned smoothly at 11 months.

Try a LilyBug. It's a cute little animal thing that you slip over the cup and the ears become handles. They are really soft too, my daughter loves it!
